The correct option is:
**B. Object X reflects blue light, and object Y absorbs blue light.**
**Explanation:**
- When a blue light is shined on an object and it appears blue, it means that the object is reflecting the blue light. Thus, Object X reflects blue light.
- On the other hand, if Object Y appears black under the blue light, it suggests that it absorbs the blue light rather than reflecting it. Hence, Object Y absorbs blue light.
